Greetings Yankee, I collected these beads in Tibet, from traders a bead at a time over twenty years where they were said to be from Chamdo. What I believe are parts of Sichuan & Qinghai today. These were never plentiful around Lhasa and have become very scarce now. I am not saying they are ancient - I don't know how old they are but they were not made recently. I think you are confusing these with the mountains of newly made commercial melon beads. Then again, I am willing to listen why....... Regarding Paula's beads. Beautiful! But yes, I expect you are right and they are reproduction beads. I love the beads you have posted! Best of Luck (and beads)...... All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
